Sustainable Supplier Selection

In the past ten years, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) attach great importance due to consumers, for-profit and profitless organizations, laws and regulations to the social and corporate responsibilities of consumers, so it has been recognized by practitioners and scholars. Supplier selection, environmental effect like a lockdown, and social cooperation and other SSCM programs can play an important part in realizing the triple bottom line (TBL) of economic, environmental, social assistances. In supply chain management (SCM), the sustainable supplier selection (SSS) and firm performance plays an important role. Traditionally, when evaluating SSS performance, organizations will consider a new framework to obtain the overall criteria/sub-criteria of the sustainability index by encapsulating sustainability. In this paper 12 sub-criteria for 3 pillars of sustainability as economic, environment and social performance is collected. Although there are many articles on SSS and evaluation, so far, research on sustainability issues is very limited. This study endeavours to propose a fuzzy multi-criteria approach to discuss SSCM planning, and studies the issue of determining a current model for SSS in the supply chain during COVID-19 based on the TBL method. For express the linguistic value of the subjective preference of experts we use triangular fuzzy numbers. By using fuzzy numbers to find standard weights for qualitative performance evaluation, then fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is proposed to find the ranking of SSS. However, COVID-19 has a negative role in SSS and in firm performance. The situation of lockdown due to COVID-19 has a negative effect on the performance of the organizations. An example is given of the proposed method.

Distinct, alternative forms of geosemantics, whose classification is often ill-defined, emerge in the management of geospatial information. This paper proposes a workflow to identify patterns in the different practices and methods dealing with geoinformation. From a meta-review of the state of the art in geosemantics, this paper first pinpoints “keywords” representing key concepts, challenges, methods, and technologies. Then, we illustrate several case studies, following the categorization into implicit, formal, and powerful (i.e., soft) semantics depending on the kind of their input. Finally, we associate the case studies with the previously identified keywords and compute their similarities in order to ascertain if distinguishing methodologies, techniques, and challenges can be related to the three distinct forms of semantics. The outcomes of the analysis sheds some light on the diverse methods and technologies that are more suited to model and deal with specific forms of geosemantics.

Social And Environmental Responsibilities

With a great emphasis on both social and environmental responsibilities, sustainable supply chain management has gradually been adopted and promoted as an innovative business model. In sustainable supply chain practice, the choice of sustainable suppliers relates to the long-term development of a company. While the environmental performance of suppliers has been commonly considered, the social dimension has not yet received enough attention. This paper first proposes a novel criteria system for evaluating sustainable suppliers from three aspects and six dimensions, and then introduces an integrated evaluation model with a novel hybrid information aggregation. To verify the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method, a real case of a large supermarket is introduced and analyzed. The research results show that (1) the indicator system based on Triple Bottom Line theory can serve as a framework of sustainable supplier selection for manufacturing and circulation enterprises; (2) the introduction of hybrid information aggregation can effectively handle the uncertainties of indicator scores under the realistic fuzzy environment and objectively reflect the intentions of the scorers; and (3) in comparison with the TOPSIS algorithm, the priority order finally obtained is consistent, but the proposed model shows more robustness in the sensitivity test.

  The Conceptual framework of this study consists of the three main hypotheses to examine and reflect the positive relationship between the green purchasing capabilities ( integration, intra-organizational, innovative, financial and manufacturing)  and green purchasing practices (supplier selection, development, collaboration, and evaluation) on triple bottom line performance. (Environmental, economic and intangible performance). The results of the study revealed that green manufacturing, financial, intraorganisational, and integration capabilities have positive significant effects on green purchasing practices.  Nevertheless, innovation capabilities have no significant effect on green purchasing practices. On the other hand, the survey results indicate that green purchasing practices have positive effects on the triple bottom line performance of the firms. The research finding shows that there is a positive effect of green manufacturing capabilities, green integration capabilities and green intraorganisational capabilities on the triple bottom line performance. Meanwhile, there is no effect of green innovative and green financial capabilities on the triple bottom line performance of the firms.

Dieser Beitrag wählt einen etwas anderen Ansatz, um auf die Bedeutung eines nachhaltigen Beschaffungsmodells für den zukünftigen Erfolg eines Unternehmens zu verweisen. Ein Funktionsbereich, der 85 Prozent der Wertschöpfung eines Unternehmens verantwortet, kann als Wegbereiter für den zukünftigen Erfolg eines Unternehmens definiert werden. Digitalisierung, Standardisierung und die Notwendigkeit, soziale sowie ökologische Standards in der Lieferkette zu implementieren, stellen Unternehmen vor fast unlösbare Herausforderungen. Wie der Einsatz eines nachhaltigen Beschaffungsprozessmodells – mit besonderem Fokus auf dem nachhaltigen Lieferantenmanagement – helfen kann, die Position des Einkaufs im Unternehmen zu festigen und dieses Spannungsfeld unterschiedlicher Trendcharakteristika aufzulösen, ist Inhalt dieses Beitrags. Dabei wird das theoretisch entwickelte Modell an einem konkreten Unternehmensbeispiel erläutert. Green Procurement plays a crucial role in enabling the future success of a company. On the other side companies still have difficulties in “greening” their supply chain, standards in sustainable supplier selection and relationship management are still missing or KPIs to measure “green success” are not in place – to name only a few challenges. This article discusses an efficient approach how to successfully implement a sustainable, strategic procurement process. Keywords: triple bottom line, nachhaltiges supplier relationship management, nachhaltiges beschaffungsprozessmodell, grüne beschaffung, corporate social responsiblity, bedeutung der beschaffungsfunktion

In this study, a hybrid model based on ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems), a predictive intelligent-based technique, and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution) was implemented for sustainable supplier selection. Selection of supplier is a crucial task for companies to achieve the objectives of inbound and outbound supply chain system. This selection process may be complex due to the inclusion of diverse subjective and objective factors. There is, therefore, the need for a reliable methodology to provide higher accuracy in predictions of anticipated supplier performance, and this article makes contributions in that direction. The model was applied in the retail end of a fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry to select the best possible suppliers using the sustainability criteria of the triple-bottom-line. Available data from the FMCG retail sector was fed into the TOPSIS and ANFIS model to rank the suppliers. Results indicated that the most dominant sustainability factors in the Nigerian FMCG retail sector are advanced technology, cost, reliability, on-time delivery, and environmental competencies. The finding should encourage companies in the retail sector to explore sustainability opportunities in order to improve their competitiveness for selection during bidding processes. The novelty of this study is the application of ANFIS to sustainable supplier selection problem in the context of a developing economy like Nigeria. It should also assist managers in the FMCG retail sector to highlight areas of possible sustainability improvements.
